Bent But Not Broken: The Goal Line Stand

The game on Saturday was a tighter battle than many people predicted. Both sides played well and it appeared that the game may be heading to overtime when, late in the fourth quarter, Pittsburgh found themselves sitting just one yard from the end zone.

The Panthers made a great pass and catch to set up the first and goal scenario.

At the time of the play, it was 2nd and 19 from the 30 yard line with just over 6 minutes to go. Pittsburgh was in dire straits, trying to get a game-tying touchdown or at least a field goal to cut into the lead.
